The Fortune Men by Nadifa Mohamed
Set in 1950s Cardiff, this novel fictionalizes the true-life case of Mahmood Mattan, a Somali-born shopkeeper who is arrested, convicted and executed for a murder he likely did not commit; against a backdrop of postwar Britain it explores the destructive forces of racial prejudice, flawed policing and social isolation and the devastating impact of a miscarriage of justice on his family and community.
